Stuck!

Straddle narrow ruts, and let the tire's sidewall do the work in the wider ones. To maintain traction in the uneven sections, try to keep all four tires on the ground. If you end up three-wheeling like this guy, feather the brakes to transfer power to the other tires to regain traction.

You can see that the smartest path would have been to put the left tires on the rock, not around it. Because of crucial broken parts, it required some thought to get the truck out. Since the driveshaft was broken he was getting power at only one end--stacking rocks wouldn't have worked. A winch got the vote, and the truck was pulled off the same way it got on, after the driveshaft was moved out of the way to prevent destroying it even more. If a winch wasn't available, he could have used a Hi-Lift jack to lift up the truck and push it over until it was free.

Good one! As you're picking a line, consider where the obstacle will contact low-hanging parts, such as the differential. Not only did this driver whack his truck's rear diff, but his driveshaft had an out-of-body experience. Don't ram rocks! This driver wisely braced the top of the rearend (differential?) so he wouldn't lose ground clearance.

This Chevy managed to get high-centered, which happens when you park the truck's undercarriage on an obstacle and none of the tires have sufficient traction to move the truck. Severe body resculpturing just waiting to take place.

Since the owner didn't have a Hi-Lift along, he took the stock jack and raised the vehicle enough to lift it off the rock that was high-centering it, then built a ramp of rocks so he could drive right off.
